Addiction & Recovery Journal | Evidence-Based | ZipHealthy

Recovery is not a straight line — and you deserve a space that honors every step of the journey. Whether you are in early sobriety or years into your recovery, this clinician-designed guided journal meets you exactly where you are.

Designed by Stephen Velasquez, MBA, MSW, LCSW — a licensed clinical social worker with over 16 years of clinical experience — this 74-page guided journal draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and reflective practice.

What You'll Explore

Four progressive phases guide you through the recovery process: Seeing Clearly (understanding your patterns and triggers), Rebuilding the Foundation (establishing healthy coping and routines), Reconnecting with Values (rediscovering purpose and meaning), and Repair and Growth (building the life you want to stay sober for).
